About
Location
HERD headquarters and the baby elephant orphanage are located on the grounds of the Jabulani safari lodge in the Kapama Private Game Reserve in South Africa. The orphanage has been purposely built near to the close-knit Jabulani herd’s homestead for us to easily assess and integrate each baby elephant according to their individual emotional needs.
Find Us At Jabulani
If you’d like to see the elephants during their day in the wilderness, you can do so either at Jabulani Safari, or our Elephant Moments morning experience.
Jabulani Safari was built in 2004 to help support the rescued herd and continues to be a marriage of conservation and hospitality through a soulful safari experience in a protected Big 5 wilderness.
We do not accept visitors at the HERD orphanage to limit foot traffic and reduce the effect of outsiders on the very sensitive calves and orphans. Similarly, visitors cannot visit the herd in the homestead or out in the bush unless they travel to and stay at Jabulani lodge, where guided rangers accompany guests throughout the experience to ensure the safety of all.
